A quick heads-up to all you talented designers.
Considering that I've had now so many great designs and that time is of the essence, I will cut the contest short by one week. Wednesday the 30th will be the last day anyone can send in drafts.
Until then, thanks to all of you for the amazing amount of hard work!
Best of luck, Alberto Rey

I would like to thank every single one of you for all your hard work and patience.
It was a pleasure to get to experience the commitment and talent all of you displayed.
I know some of you wanted a bit more time. Due to a time constraint and the amount of participants I had to cut it short.
There were more impressive designs I would have wanted to give a prize to but I&;m on a tight budged.
I will certainly keep many you as contacts - by invite only - for any future projects.
Feel free to contact me for any additional questions, suggestions and even criticism.
Thank you again for everything and good luck.

At this point it can be only a concept, although funtionality should be kept in mind. Once I have a winner, I&;ll be working with him/her on a manufacturable prototype.
Also, a quick headsup: This contest will end 1 week early - the 30th.
Thanks!

You need a concept or a manufacturable design with analysis as well?

Thanks for the input.
To answer your question, since this is still a relatively early stage in the contest, I&;m more interested in a solid concept rather than a fully functional design.
In regards to the bearing for the wheels, I would certainly prefer a cost contious choice even though the scooter itself will be marketed as a higher end product within my competitors.
Please feel free to contact me anytime and good luck.
Best, Alberto
Are you looking for concept only or fully functional design also? Biggest challenge here is to find cheap and light weight bearing for the wheel. Are you prefer to use custom bearing (need long development with high cost) or want to use off the shelf bearing (for lower development cost).
Thanks,
Best,
